Hey, DJ!

YUGE*

There's a few weird bullet points in there (the fact that it tells you you shouldn't be happy to be where you're at being one 🙄), but, all in all, I wouldn't call qualify this as "LinkedIn lunacy" for once.

You have no business leading a team if you say things like "this is not my job" on the regular and deflect responsibility and lack direction more generally.

Oh I want him to be allowed to speak his mind. I just don't want to give a Trumpet any money, and especially not after their annoucement of a crypto wallet and ventures into AI crap.

Free speech doesn't mean I should spend my money there.

Why is it that the californian tech bros have all embraced conservative talking points so quickly? Weren't they supposed to be "shitlibs"?

Probably Chapo trap house

You started writing code in the 60s, yet you never quite mastered the craft, and you're proving it yet again. Remarkable.

This guy's solution to becoming crappier over time is "I'll drink every day, but abstain one day a week".

I'm not convinced that "that ship has sailed" as he puts it.

As soon as I stopped trying to write textbook OOP stuff, this stopped occurring to me. That was years ago.

I'm not saying I write perfect code, no. But when I read bad stuff I wrote, I can understand it and think of ideas about how to improve it if that becomes necessary.

On top of writing more functional-style code, the way I achieved this was:

• Absolutely no inheritance whatsoever. Composition + interfaces work wonders for what I do.
• Minimal mutable state. This pays dividends when debugging.
• Ditto for type-system-encoded nullability markers (ie. ? in C#, std::optional in C++...)
• I avoid writing code just-in-case something happens. If I haven't run it manually or via unit tests, it goes to the garbage bin (not an absolute, just a guiding principle). There's a chance that code isn't even correct to begin with and you'll have to throw it away should you ever need it.
• Low indirection. I don't want to jump through 10 functions to see what something is doing, and nobody else does either.

Karma is a bitch.

At least, human agents can take responsibility for their actions, and they learn. When they fail to do so, they get fired.

You're right, it's not only that the subordinate is an idiot. It's also a pathological liar that never learns and can't take the blame for their fuckups.

If a subordinate persistently sneaks in bad code despite being told not to, this is grounds for dismissal as far as I'm concerned.

The effort that goes into making this is not spent fixing bugs or adding features some care about (like HDR video for instancr, or a proper time picker?)

The French word is "dinde", and the ethmology IIRC is "from India" (d'Inde)

Now, in French, "pute" is a derogatory term for a prostitute.

In today's episode of things that never happened...

The RN is not part of the government.

I don't think the British fighting were abusing powers. The violence to fight nazism was needed to end nazi rule in Germany.

The question is not if violence is useful, but when?

Is this actually real though?

"Evidentiary basis" ≠ "consumption declines", greaselords.

It's just become a lot more expensive than it used to be, and the environmental/health aspects of it might play a small part in this, too.

C'est quoi WPT?

Charlie Kirk, who told his audience to post bail for Paul Pelosi's attacker, is not a radical? Sure, troll.
